The change history is:
Commit 0c95c8ac tried to "hide permision warning", so did:
- $MKSWAP_PROG "$fname" >> $seqres.full
+ # Ignore permission complaints on filesystems that don't support perms
+ $MKSWAP_PROG "$fname" 2> >(grep -v 'insecure permission' >&2) >> $seqres.full
Then commit 0e4dd8b9 said "it broke older versions of bash such as 4.4.23", so tried
to use "a $(foo) to run the executable":
- $MKSWAP_PROG "$fname" 2> >(grep -v 'insecure permission' >&2) >> $seqres.full
+ $(MKSWAP_PROG "$fname" 2> >(grep -v 'insecure permission' >&2)) >> $seqres.full
Now this patch try to do ($FOO_PROG):
($MKSWAP_PROG "$fname" .....)
I'm *not* a bash expert, if I'm wrong feel free to correct me:) If the original problem
is trying to hide permision warning from stderr, and to avoid new syntax breaking old
bash, Why we must struggle with this complex syntax which isn't compatible. How about:
$MKSWAP_PROG "$fname" >> $seqres.full 2>&1 | grep -v "insecure permission"
Or other better and compatible way ?
